Announcing Windows Phone Day in Portland, OR

I am proud to announce the Windows Phone Day in Portland, Oregon on Saturday, May 3, 2014.

Learn to make amazing Windows Phone apps at the Windows Phone Day event and you may win big for launching your apps in the store. Join Nokia Developer Ambassador Paras Wadehra & Windows Phone Development MVP Kelly White, as they provide hands-on Windows Phone development training and teach you how to get your app in the store. Even if you barely know how to code, you will walk away with the ability to write a mobile app.

Windows Phone Day is a unique community event that combines presentations by Windows Phone experts along with hands-on help for attendees to get started on their apps. Work with our experts, get started on your app or game, publish it within 3 weeks after the event and get a chance to win a free Windows Phone 8 device!

BRING YOUR LAPTOP!

Make sure to have Windows 8 running with Visual Studio and the Windows Phone 8 SDK installed on it, prior to the event. Windows 8 Pro is best because this will let you run the full Windows Phone 8 development environment and emulators. Windows 8 (non Pro) can develop Windows Phone 8 apps but cannot run the emulator, so you will need to test your app on a physical device.
